The cozy Saxons were a Saxon folk singer troupe. She left recordings on the POLYPHON label from around 1910 . Several titles come from Martin Mühlau. The preference for military caricatures is striking. Nothing is known about the identity of the group; possibly it is the Leipzig Krystallpalast singers under a different name.
